Updated July 2025
Introduction:
The New Zealand homeware scene continues to blossom in 2025 with a vibrant mix of creativity, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship. At Kiki Bazaar, we’re inspired by the dynamic ways Kiwis are making their homes cozy, expressive, and eco-conscious. From textured textiles and bold palettes to organic curves and handcrafted ceramics, these 14 key trends are shaping interiors across the country. Dive in to discover how to refresh your spaces with authentic style and purposeful design.
1. Textiles and Patterns: Comfort Meets Sustainability
Sustainable, Ethical Fabrics
Kiwis continue to embrace eco-friendly textiles like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fibres—not only for their softness but for their positive environmental impact. Explore our Blankets & Throws Collection to find artisan-crafted pieces made from sustainable fibres that bring warmth and texture to your home.
Mixing Bold Patterns
Patterns have made a striking comeback. Nature-inspired prints, geometrics, and handwoven designs add personality and depth, especially when layered with our Cushions & Poufs Collection featuring vibrant textures and artisanal motifs.
2. Bright and Bold Hues: Design with Personality
Colour as Mood Setter
In 2025, rich jewel tones and saturated hues create dynamic interiors. Reds, blues, ochres, and verdant greens energize rooms and invite joyful living.
Harmonious Contrasts
Experiment with unexpected colour pairings, such as pairing earthy ceramics from our Ceramics & Pottery Collection with bright cushions or accent throws for an eye-catching balance.
3. Lamps and Lighting: Functional Artistry
Statement Lighting
Lighting fixtures have become key design elements—think sculptural pendants and handcrafted lamps elevating any room's aesthetic.
Natural Light Maximization
New Zealand’s famous landscapes inspire interiors that embrace ample natural light. Complement your setup with soft, warm bulbs and artisanal lamps available in our Gifts & Decor Collection.
4. Maximalism: Curated Abundance
Layered Eclectic Style
Moving beyond minimalism, New Zealanders are mixing textures, styles, and colours for a vibrant, personal decor language. Our Baskets & Bags Collection and layered ceramics provide perfect accents for this look.
Balanced Displays
While maximalism encourages expression, balance is key—each piece should tell a story and contribute harmony to the ensemble.
5. Organic Curves: Softening the Space
Curvy, Comfortable Furniture
Rounded sofas, poufs, and chairs with gentle curves soften interiors and invite relaxation. View our Cushions & Poufs Collection for cozy complements.
Natural Materials
Incorporate wood, stone, and rattan elements, such as woven items from our Baskets & Bags Collection, to enhance a natural, tactile environment.
6. Ceramics: Everyday Functional Art
Handmade Craftsmanship
Artisan ceramics are prized for their beauty and utility. Discover unique dinnerware, vases, and pitchers in our Ceramics & Pottery Collection that make every meal an experience.
Decorative Statement Pieces
Ceramics serve double duty as functional art. Display handcrafted pots and bowls to bring character and a tactile element to shelves and tables.
7. Plants: Indoor Greenery for Life & Style
Bringing Nature In
Houseplants are a Kiwi staple, purifying air and adding lush softness. Pair them with textured baskets from our Baskets & Bags Collection for stylish, natural planters.
Plant Care & Placement
Choosing the right plants for your space and lighting conditions is key—let greenery breathe life into corners or as table centrepieces alongside vases from our Jugs & Vases Collection.
8. Wallpapers: Artistic, Personal Walls
Bold Statements
Expressive wallpapers and murals transform walls into focal points. Choose peel-and-stick styles for easy experimentation and change.
Graphic Patterns
Complement your wallpapers with the bold colours or organic forms found in our Art Prints & Frames Collection to create layered visual interest.
9. Sustainability: Conscious Home Choices
Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability guides more Kiwi purchasing decisions. Our collections showcase ethically sourced, natural, and recycled materials for guilt-free styling.
Support Local Makers
Embrace the story behind your pieces. Many of our handpicked homewares support skilled artisans, reflecting thoughtful craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
10. Mixing Styles: Past Meets Present
Timeless Fusion
Blend vintage finds with contemporary designs for a truly personal aesthetic. Mixing modern linens from Blankets & Throws with handcrafted rustic ceramics offers a curated contrast.
Self-Expression Through Homeware
Your decor becomes your signature—a mirror of experience, taste, and personality.

Creative Organization
Storage pieces that hide clutter while enhancing decor have surged. Look for woven baskets, modular shelving, and multifunctional furniture in our Baskets & Bags Collection and Gifts & Decor Collection.
Concealed Cleverness
Seamlessly integrate storage to maintain calm, clutter-free zones without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.

Durability Meets Style
Choose furnishings and textiles designed to endure the elements without compromising on visual appeal.

Showcasing Stories
Art and photography personalize rooms. Curate your own gallery with bold pieces and prints, like those in our Art Prints & Frames Collection.
Collaborative Creativity
Commission custom pieces from local artists to reflect your unique style and connection to place.
14. Practical Tips to Embrace Trends
Budget-Friendly Refreshes
You don’t need to overhaul everything. Incorporate trend-forward pieces via strategic cushions, throws, ceramics, or baskets from our curated collections.
